Be careful when dealing with this shop. Keep a tight hold on your wallet. Yesterday they took advantage of my 77 year old wife by charging her $20 for a short pair of leather shoelaces, that could be purchased from a legitimate hobby store for a dollar or two. Shame on them. read more

I have an overpriced pair of hiking shoes I bought at REI. Of course they blow out a week after the REI one year warranty runs its course. This shops works miracles. When I dropped the dead shoe off, it looked like some dumpy purple haired Portland Protester. $20 and two hours later, when I picked up my shoe it looked like Sydney Sweeney. Quality work, friendly staff who seemingly dropped everything to help me out. read more

I dropped my boots off and they disappeared. I understand it was going to take awhile but losing them? I have returned twice with a promise of a follow up and have never received a call. Pathetic business practices. read more

Not always open depending on how back logged the owner is. Call first. Pretty disorganized business. When and if the work is completed, the quality is good. read more

Great service and skill and friendly! Fix your beloved leather don't buy something new and not as nice!

Friendly and helpful staff! Needed a quick solution for an issue with my new boots and They pulled it off. Be aware it is cash only.

Amazing staff! My son needed his favorite basketball shoes repaired prior to leaving on an international trip with his team. He had them tear at the last minute during his practice. They had 2 days before he flew out and they made it happen! We have also brought boots for polishing and my husband's Georgia work boots for restitching. Working in construction he is very hard on them and a couple pairs have torn only after a few months of use. One pair had the heel part (heel counter) tear from the calf back quarter material (leather "upper") And another pair had the toebox separate from the rubber (midsole) Their work holds up under rigorous use. Both my son and my husband can attest to the quality craftsmanshi. Thank you for your commitment to the craft. You will always be our goto for anything we need. read more

I was working on one of the Oregon forest fires when my boots fell apart. I took my boots to Give Em' The Boot and told Forest what had happened. He was able to resole my fire boots with the highest quality craftsmanship. I highly recommend this boot repair shop. The people who work there are very knowledgeable and skilled. They can work on any type of boot or shoe. Thanks again, Forest! You're my hero. read more

Expert repair on both boots I brought in. The Manager repair person was very good to work with. Hearing what I wanted to have done, she asked a couple follow up and clarifying questions to be sure I wanted only what I was asking for, pointing out few other issues she saw. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

Got my boots re-heeled. They did very good if not excellent work. The only drawback was that it took three months. That is NOT the business' fault, it is that it is the only repair shop in Bend. read more

I bought a belt online and it was too long and needed some new holes punched in it. I stopped by and the owner fixed my belt in 5 minutes and would not take any money for his time. It was so thoughtful of him. Super nice guy-highly recommend! read more

This poor guy is the only cobbler in all of central Oregon. He has more work than he can do. Had to search in piles to find my wife's shoes and they never got fixed. Someone needs to partner with him or apprentice. Would love to see him succeed but the odds are against him. Repairs are a year out. read more

Did an absolutely wonderful job repairing a pair of extremely worn sandals that I needed postop for residual swollen feet. Responded to my situation by offering a relatively quick turnaround (usually a matter of months due to volume) and my feet are sooo happy! read more

I came in about two weeks ago to ask them to punch a couple of more holes in the straps of my new sandals (i have small ankles) with my little boy and they did it on the spot no charge. I am new to town and just thought this was such a nice gesture and great service. I will definitely be back to get several of my shoes cleaned! read more

Took my shoes for repair. They do an excellent job! Everything as promised and reasonable as well!

Nice people. Nice work. Nice service. What could be better? Shoes were in and out within two weeks. It's a bit hard to find, so maybe get directions before you go there for the first time. read more

This is a great boot repair shop. The owner is super nice and great at what he does. I brought in work boots that had the stitching coming apart. He got them triple-stitched back up and even oiled them for me for just $18. Don't put too much stock in the one negative review. There are a couple reviews that got filtered out into the "not currently recommended" category too... Those are also 5 star reviews. I will definitely be coming here again since I am pretty tough on my boots. Just be sure to bring CASH. I had to run to Rite Aid across the street for an ATM. read more

Give 'Em The Boot - Shoe Repair Near Me - Bend, Oregon

If there was a higher rating, my brother and I would give it. My brother has limited mobility and feet that require modified shoes. For years he has had to buy orthopedic shoes at $1000.00 a pair and not very attractive. This time, my brother bought a good looking sturdy pair of tennis shoes, and took them to 'Give 'Em The Boot'. Owner, Forrest, listened and came up with modifications that both met my brother's needs and resulted in a good looking pair of shoes. My brother is thrilled. His shoes feel good, look good and are easy to get on and off. Forrest's customer service, creativity, skill, and integrity are incredible. He went above and beyond for my brother. Priceless! , read more

Does a great job with shoe repair and very reasonably priced. Please note that he is currently only open Mon-Wed 9am-6pm.

I brought my well-loved Frye harness boots in to be re-heeled. He did beautiful work. The heel rubber part that hits the ground is Vibram, and he polished (oiled?) them up and they look just beautiful. I didn't ask for them to be polished but he did it anyways! All only for $20! Be sure to bring cash as there is no card machine. Highly, highly recommend!! read more

needed a quick patch before being sent out to the next fire. great patch and affordable prices totally going to recommend them to whoever ask for repairs read more

Give 'Em The Boot - Shoe Repair Near Me - Bend, Oregon

I am in awe of my boots! Honestly went in thinking I would be turned away as the boots were not of highest quality to start with. As they are a favorite of mine, I was willing to gamble. What I received back...better than new. The soles are amazing & look immaculate, like what they always should have been. The owner went the extra mile to clean up the suede where water stains & time had settled in. Really appreciate such attention to detail. Highly recommend. read more

We were in Bend and I dropped off my sandals to be repaired. I do not live in the Bend area. I contacted Forrest in late January to pay him and have him ship my sandals to me so I would have them in time to leave for our Hawai'i vacation on February 5. My sandals did not arrive before we left. I called him and he had completely forgotten. They were not waiting for me when we returned home on February 14. I called him again and he said he would send them out right away. I called again Monday, February 20; Forrest said I should have them and he would check the tracking information. They were just delivered today, Thursday, February 23 via UPS. The information on the label indicates they were shipped on Tuesday, February 21, nearly three weeks after he cashed my check. I don't like being lied to. I had to buy another pair of sandals in Hawai'i. This is NOT the way to treat a customer, Forrest . . . read more

My husband needs a custome lift on every right shoe he wears. We started coming to Give 'Em the Boot when we moved to Bend about 1 1/2 years ago; since that time we have had about 5 pairs lifted. Including a bowling shoe and a very tricky sandal! All the work as been top-notch and service is great. read more

Nice repair job and excellent customer service that they stand behind.

I brought in two pairs of shoes that I had used while working as a bank teller/asst. manager for several years. The stitching was unraveling in the same place on the right shoe only of both pairs. Even though I am now retired I really loved these shoes. They are so comfortable for walking and standing and they are not bad looking either. I was quoted a price and sent on my way. Less than two weeks later I went to pick up my shoes. Excellent! I can see the repair because I know where the problem was but I doubt that anyone else could. I am ecstatic! Worth every penny. Thank you so much for doing such a great job. I would recommend your shop to anyone. Judging by the completed items lining the walls Give 'Em The Boot has a lot of happy customers. read more

I had a pair if high-quality boots that I never wore because the shaft was too tall and just didn't look good on me. He re-soled them, cut them down, and added a loop on the back (which I didn't think to ask for, but makes them super cute and easy to get on!) They went from collecting dust in my closet, to being my most worn pair of footwear. Amazing work! read more

Forest is fantastic at solving any and all repair on any leather or synthetic boot or shoe. Had a brand new pair of frye leather boots I wasnt wearing because the heals were to low. He did not hesitate to build me a heal without compromising the comfort or look of my boots. Have tried all the other cobblers in town they do not even compare to Give em the boot. read more

Great place. I was on R & R from a fire detail. GETB fixed several eyelets and some split leather in a few hours. Worked out great because I had to fly out early the next day. He did a great job too! read more

I brought in two pairs of shoes-one to get dyed and one to get heel taps. He dyed the wrong pair of shoes!!!!!! If that wasn't enough, he was completely unapologetic, and rude. I am never going back. read more

Brought 2 pair of running shoes in to be altered and he completed the difficult job with a quick turn around and reasonable price.

Brought my cowgirl boots into the shop and needed an emergency sole replacement for a wedding. Although he was three weeks out he still was able to have them ready the next day before I left. Such a nice man and very reasonable pricing! read more

I had a pair of sandals repaired and the work was quoted the price I paid, it was ready on time and I would highly recommend.
